Auburn School is ending this school year with many celebrations and with grateful hearts for our community and family support.
This week, we are celebrating our students with our first annual Student Appreciation Week sponsored by Auburn Schoolâs FRYSC. We had many fun surprises for our students. On the first day, our staff dressed up in our royal and fancy attire to show students how important they are to us. Every student received a crown and a royal treat.
We celebrated Christmas in May with our students since we didnât get to have any in-person Christmas celebrations while we were on virtual learning. Students also had a great time with field day, which included snow cones from Pelican Ice and a picnic lunch.
Lockdown measures across England are being gradually lifted - much to the delight of organisations in Ryedale. Malton Museum is reopening on Saturday, May 29. Opening times are between 10am and 4pm every Saturday until at least the beginning of September. A spokesperson said: “Our volunteers are eager to welcome everyone to Malton Museum for our 2021 season. “We have spent a long time organising a safe environment with many measures in place to stop the spread of COVID-19, this includes asking all visitors to wear a mask unless you are exempt, in which case please let our door staff know this on your arrival.”
THIS week should have seen the arrival of the May Fair in Herefordshire for its 900th anniversary. Last year, coronavirus saw the cancellation of the popular fair, but this year organisers have vowed to go ahead later in the year. But while they wait for the new dates in July and August to roll around, members of our We Grew Up In Hereford Facebook group have been sharing their memories of May Fairs gone by. The fair has become contentious over the years, said John Price. It is like Marmite – you either love it or hate it. I come from a generation that loves the fair. Maybe it means more to us country folk than people who lived in the cities because we had less going on. I love the loud music and people laughing and the hustle and bustle of it. It also brings different people than you normally see.

A brouhaha about number bibs has arisen over a mid-season rule change by British Eventing (BE) to support sponsors.
During the past year, enterprising companies started selling reusable numbers that fit inside competitor number bibs, in reaction to BE’s Covid regulations.
Before the pandemic hit, competitors would collect the two sheets of A4 paper with their number printed on them from the secretary when they arrived at an event.
However, as part of the sport’s safe return after the coronavirus enforced halt in 2020, BE stated competitors should print their own bib numbers before arriving.
A WOMAN who raised a centuries-old legal device known as the Clameur de Haro after being served with an eviction notice for her repossessed home has had her case thrown out by the Royal Court.
